I think the issue is there are a bunch of posters who don't play Halo 4 and are especially enthusiastic about discussing their dislike. The problem is that there's only one Halo Community OT, so the folks who don't like or literally don't even play Halo 4 have one single place to discuss their dissent, and are very dedicated posters, but that's basically creating a binary fight rather than a community thread about Halo 4. Why not split it up? People who actually play Halo 4 have a thread for that, and people who don't have a thread about their issues and Halo games they actually do play?
And then maybe conversations don't devolve into personal attacks or redundant bitching?
I would read and post in both.
It sounds like a bad idea. People should just moderate themselves, we're not a bunch of monkeys in a zoo. We can keep it clean for the better. I sincerely can't tell if it was a serious advice or just taking the problem to the extreme.
I stopped playing Halo 4 for many reasons (flinch, most of my friends don't play anymore, balance issues and so on, we already know the flaws) but I still follow the evolution of the game, I still watch streams, I'm still here (I'm a junior but let's not bitch about this because it deviates from my point). Should I post in a sort of ghetto-thread because some people can't refrain from posting "halo 4 is shit"? I don't think this would be a solution.
This community is so committed to the franchise that sometimes emotions take over rational talk but that's not necessarily a bad thing IMO. Halo 4 was a disappointment for some of us and the fixes are a sort of placebo considering you guys can't just change the direction you chose with halo 4 in a TU. We do deal with it but we are giving our feedback for next games. We, the people who stopped playing Halo 4, did not want to do so. We want next Halo to be addicting, we want it to be an arena shooter again, we want it to be competitive, we want it to be Halo.
I'm not justifying the bitching o the insults, like I said people should just think before posting and that would do miracles but splitting up would make everything worse.
EDIT
Feel free to add me, my GT in my nickname. I do enjoy the game with people I can talk with. I live in Italy so times could be a barrier but I follow the thread so that should not be a problem.
